Distribution mechanisms for Tcl source and binaries
KJN I have started this page because I am beginning to get confused by the number of possible distribution mechanisms. Have auto_load and load have been made obsolete by package?
Please discuss.
LV I'm confused by what you mean by distribution mechanism. Do you mean formats in which code can be distributed to users or do you mean mechanisms by which users can locate new extensions or do you mean "means by which a program can invoke other code''' or what?
The reason I ask is because Teacup seems different than the other items on the above list - and there are certainly other repositories other than teacup.
Also, I don't see listed in the above list things like "zip files", "starkits", "tar files", "opening a file and reading in code", "exec", "opening a pipe", etc.
Perhaps after we know better what you are after, more information can be added.
